Proprietary software and server-dependent systems in cars (without the option to run them locally, at least as a backup mode)…

…SHOULD BE ILLEGAL because all the negative impact that it has regarding freedom, privacy, security risks, right to repair, and environmental impact.

🍋This is a Cedro (Citrus medica), a “big ass lemon” that is very common in Southern Italy.

I eat it by the bite, in carpaccio, or in salad.

And this week I just bought a tree of the Sicilian variety(less acidic) to have it in my own garden ❤️

Can someone help me identify this Pokémon?
Did someone see their own casts disappear?

I cast an image two days ago and I can’t find it anymore 😕
I’m 100% with @trebor69 on this.

Just as I reject the idea that everything can be driven by economic incentives (I even find it downright insulting), I also believe that turning all access to knowledge and social groups into financial transactions (unless it makes sense, e.g an exclusive club or a DAO) is harmful to society and eventually becomes dysfunctional.

It doesn’t always make sense. And it will become a barrier to Farcaster growth and to have a healthy community.
Last years findings in biological anthropology are fascinating.

Thanks to genetic research, today we can clear up a lot of misunderstandings about human evolution and false information on the differences between human groups, some of which were even “backed” by the academy and leading to dangerous ideologies.

Combine this with a Votecaster.io community using channel subscribers as the census for universally verifiable polls, and you have an easily set up Farcaster Channel DAO.

Fuck mosquitoes.
At this point, only a moron would belive that Elon Musk is a champion of free speech and that has turned Twitter into the free speech utopia.

Voted yes.

- The DAO needs to gain some speed, agility, and flexibility, the only problem was not doing this earlier.
- Diversification is KEY.
- Purp deserves compensation for the time and money invested.
Polynya’s articles on crypto culture are essential reading, and I’m pretty sure they will soon become valuable resource for anthropologists to understand the crypto world from a sociocultural and socioeconomical perspective.

The new model “o1” of ChatGPT is impressive.

It feels more like a human interaction, and it really helps coding and executing complex apps with step-by-step instructions for non-programmers.
Every time I open Twitter, my “For You” feed is flooded with Trump-aligned, fascist, racist, and misogynistic content, even though I ✨NEVER✨ engage with this type of content.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

For the fanboys: keep defending that dangerous psychopath if you want, but this is seriously toxic and a threat to open and democratic society values.
Rewatching X-Files, not bad tbh
I just created the channel /cooperatives to talk and debate about co-ops and social economy!

And perhaps maybe even doing some cool experiments 👀

Feel free to join!
@vitalik.eth I know you’ve explored various social and economic experiments with Glen Weyl, so I wanted to ask your opinion:

Do you think blockchain technology could enable a more effective model to disrupt traditional cooperative funding (often quite boomer and stuck in outdated frameworks) and accelerate the cooperative economy?

Funding common good with donations and quadratic funding is cool, but I feel we’re missing an opportunity to build relevant and sustainable cooperative funding.
